Chapter 280: The Brotherhood's Old Acquaintance

Lower area, fog core block.

This place, among the hundreds of blocks in the lower districts, has no character. The population is large and dense, and in addition to some rudimentary supporting facilities in residential areas, there are a large number of labor-intensive factories. Like ants with no intelligence, the workers get up, go to work, get off work, and go to bed to the sound of a big pendulum clock in the middle of the block, interspersed with some meal times in between.

The most ordinary workers in the lower districts have spent their lives in such ordinary ways.

But in some senses, the Fog Core is a different place, but few people know about itβ€”it is one of the four main fraternal meeting points in Westdum and one of the most frequent and active neighborhoods of the workers' movement.

In the eastern part of the fog core block, there is a factory called 'Flying Wing Machinery'. Both from the outside and from the inside, this is a normal factory that processes various mechanical parts.

In essence, however, Wingwing Machinery is an out-and-out enterprise that is completely controlled by the Brotherhood. The workers were well paid, and the management was a secret member of the Brotherhood.

On the third floor of Flying Wing Machinery, there is an office with a 'Administration Office' sign. This is the point of contact for the Brotherhood in the Fog Core neighborhood.

With a stack of papers in hand, Wilde walked to a separate desk deep in the office and knocked on the desk.

A woman lying on the table writing something looked up.

She is Jane Leswaite, who is the proprietress of Flying Wing Machinery, who inherited the factory from her father and is a small entrepreneur. In fact, her father was a sympathizer of the Brotherhood, and she joined the Brotherhood at a very young age.

Today, she is a senior member of the Brotherhood. Few people know that she is still a powerful evolutionary, with the level of the sixth chain.

Jane looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with plain medium-length hair, and nothing unusual about her face, and at first glance she looked like an ordinary white young woman. But although her appearance is not outstanding, in fact, if you stay with her for a long time, you can feel a unique charm from her.

She is a very attractive woman.

"There's news from Block 17?"

"Hmm." Wilde nodded and said, "The people of the Demon Hunter Guild have taken the seventeenth block, and some interesting things have happened, the information is here, you can take a look." ”

With that, he put the stack of documents in his hand on Jane's desk, and then continued: "The main source of this information is the first-hand information obtained by Momo and several other observers in the seventeenth block, and the credibility is still relatively high. ”

After taking a moment to read the materials Wilde brought, Jane's expression was also a little surprised: "Doctor Lysman has been hiding in the seventeenth block for so many years...... And this Levi, the combat effectiveness shown is really terrifying. According to the document, Lesman's strength was not weak, and he was eliminated in Levi's hands with almost no ability to resist. ”

"yes, it's really scary." Wilde nodded and said, "Judging from the information this time, and thinking of the news about Levi's performance that came back from Chiffon Town before, he should ...... No, it definitely has the strength to be on the battle power list. ”

Jane shook her head with emotion and said, "It's not just about climbing, it's also going to be at the top, maybe it's going to surpass me." But it's all irrelevant, Wilde, and I've heard that you've fought alongside Levi? ”

"Ah, yes, that time was really nine deaths and torture......" Wilde also recalled the past.

This Wilde is the same person who infiltrated the underground research center with Levi, Cai Yutong and others a year and a half ago during the mechanical biological riot in the Clover community.

At that time, Li Wei strongly opposed continuing to go deeper, and stayed on the periphery with Cai Yutong. And he, together with the 'Big Wind Knife' Shen Fu, Ban Derui, and Qian Long, continued to explore the depths.

They were discovered in the course of their investigation and were defeated by a formidable enemy that could not be matched.

They were defeated without the ability to resist, but the people of the Deep Dark Order did not choose to kill them. At that time, all four were captured alive and used as living material.

It was only then that Wilde realized how the Soul Suppression Altar that they had previously wondered about was madeβ€”when a living person was transformed into a cyborg creature that was completely subordinate to its master, their soul would be pumped out. On the one hand, leaving a mutilated, instinctual soul would make it easier for black witchcraft to control; On the other hand, the soul that was extracted was also used as a raw material, compressed into a liquid, and sealed in the Soul Suppression Altar, becoming a very special and pure energy supply.

The four people who were captured had all undergone the transformation of cyborg creatures.

Now, more than a year later, Wilde still remembers the heart-rending pain when he was reformed. Even, until now, that pain remains on him.

The current Wilde is actually a cyborg. His hands, right leg, two-thirds of his torso, and one-third of his head had become automaton.

At that time, it was not only him who completed the transformation, but also Ban Derui, Qian Long, and Shen Fu.

After being transformed, they were soon ready to begin receiving soul extraction.

But it was also at this time that the Clover Guild and the Guards also launched a general attack on the Underground Research Center.

Halfway through the soul extraction ritual of the four people, it was forced to stop due to the attack of the witchers and guards, and Wilde also saved a life, but the three witchers were not so lucky.

Wilde, who was transformed into a cyborg, improved in strength after recovering from his body. The transformed mechanical body provided him with greater strength and resistance to blows, allowing his overall strength to surpass the original and reach the level of almost the second chain.

But don't think it's a good thing, after being transformed into a cyborg, Wilde lost the opportunity to continue on the path of evolution forever.

"Since you've worked with Levi, what do you think of his attitude toward our brotherhood?"

"Well......" Wilde thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have much contact with him, I don't think he has any dislike for us, and of course, I don't see any special affection for us." ”

"Do you think he can fight for it?"

"Jane, you mean?"

'Go and get in touch with him, he's shown plenty of quality and potential and it would be a big help if we could get him to our side. Even if you can't, at least maintain a relatively good relationship. ”

"Well, as you wish, I'll go to the upper zone in the near future, and I'll visit him then."

"There's no hurry." Jane shook her head and said, "The thing we have been following up, I want to invite him to join, which can be regarded as adding some strength to us." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is this a covert operation? ”

"Nothing out of place."
